Her heart leapt in her throat seeing the conditions
the men had to work in. The heat was unbearable in the shade of her palanquin.
Even with the gentle breeze created by the palm bearer perspiration pooled
between her breasts and in the hollow of her back. One slave caught her
attention. His ebony skin gleamed in the sunlight, and there was defiance in
his gaze as he stared straight back at her.
Her heart beat faster the longer she stared at him.
"Have you made up your mind, your
highness?" her aide asked.
She smiled.
"Yes, I want him."

Great flash D. I wonder what she wants him for?
ReplyDeleteGreat flash Doris and would definitely like to read more
ReplyDeleteNice tough at the end. I suspected something worse for her fate. You captured the mood of the picture accurately.
ReplyDeleteVery nice flash, Doris. I would pick him too and not for heavy lifting around the palace. Me thinks he is going to enjoy her company more than breaking rocks for a living - slave or no <3 xo
ReplyDeleteHot damn! Great flash..... ;)
